Asher has spent her adolescence preparing to become a Dedicate, one of the telepathically controlled, iron-carapaced soldiers who have kept the Levastani army at bay for decades. When Asher and her party are attacked on a training journey, it’s up to her to lead the unit across a bitterly cold, unstable mountain and discover which of the Dedicates is a traitor.
